Enjoying Summer in the Pool With the SuperSampler

We’re in summer with the high temperatures in Chile and especially in Santiago, making it ideal to go to the pool or the beach to escape the heat and have fun at the same time. The SuperSampler is a great companion.

As I said before Santiago de Chile is very hot, with temperatures from 25 degrees to 34. My gosh this is too much heat, it happens by day and at night, too!

We had a family reunion for a couple of days because my brother came to Chile. He lives in Mexico and it is a big event for us since he did not visit the country for 3 years. At the meeting there were many people because my family is quite large — I have 5 brothers and 8 nieces and husbands involved. That day we went to lunch at the home of one of my sisters and then went to the pool of the building, because we were all dying of heat and suffering. And like a good Lomography girl, I brought with me one of my cameras, which in this case was the SuperSampler, the perfect companion in the pool!

I present to you my magnificent models:

It was great because the day was beautiful, the sun was shining in contrast to the color of the water and the photos turned out beautiful. My nephews were happy to pose, to act as role models and do crazy things so that the photos will be entertaining. I must admit that my nephews, besides being my favorite targets, are also a great contribution because they give me many ideas, besides being one of my sources of inspiration.

The result were plenty of pretty pictures of funny sequences in the pool. In my opinion, to get good results with the camera, there must be plenty of sunlight for the pictures to come out sharp and also for your subject to be active and fun — someone willing to play with you and the camera.

The SuperSampler, the queen of multilensed cameras, is now in black. It takes four sequential panoramic shots on a single, action-packed 35mm photo. See all SuperSampler colours and designs in our Shop!
